The people in the court heard that the people left under the knife all whispered one after another, it seems that there is a good show to watch, and something has happened if it is not good.

Gao Chong, the supervisor in charge of supervising the beheading in the law field, also looked puzzled, and said in his heart, could it be that Lord Xiangguo has changed his hexagram again?

The person who came was three people and three horses, and saw that the people in the temple were dressed up and came from the palace, and the first person was Yang Liuyang's father-in-law.

Yang Liu turned over and dismounted with the holy decree in his hand, and came to the front of the court to salute Gao Zhong and said, "Your Majesty has an edict, suspend the execution." ”

Gao Zhong gave the order to let the executioner stop first and see the will of the palace first, or the intention of Lord Xiangguo.

When the prisoners in the court saw that the palace had come to the will, they immediately felt hopeful, it seemed that His Majesty had come to his senses, and he might be alive.

Gao Zhong stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen Manager Yang." ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yang Liu had already climbed to Huo Xiangguo's high branches, and now he seemed to have become the head of the inner court.

Yang Liu could be said to be in high spirits at the moment, he stepped forward and approached Gao Zhong and whispered: "Lord Xiangguo feels that it is inappropriate to deal with Gongzi Xiu in such a hurry, so he specially attached a "handwritten" edict from His Majesty to make sure that everything is safe. ”

Gao Chong's eyes flashed, and he said, "Okay, please ask Manager Yang to read out the edict." ”

Yang Liu bowed slightly, turned around and took out the edict and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a will, and the ministers kneel to greet you." ”

All the officials and people knelt on the ground to greet the holy decree.

"The edict said: Mu Xiu committed a heinous crime and framed the former prince, all because of the traitors around him.

After listening to it, Gao Zhong secretly said in his heart, he is still the prime minister! After listening to this edict written in the tone of the first emperor, if he didn't know the truth, he almost thought that the first emperor had come back to life again? This is like the style of the first emperor.

Gao Chong's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward and asked Yang Liudao: "Manager Yang, except for Gongzi Xiu at the moment, do the remaining imperial court offenders have any explicit?" ”

Yang Liu sighed and said, "Except for Gongzi Xiu's family, the rest of the cadres and others must not delay the execution according to the law. ”

Hearing this, Gao Chongyan looked at Gongzi Xiu, who was immortal, and sighed with emotion: "It's really a phoenix with falling hair, not as good as a chicken!" ”

When Yang Liu heard this, he remembered that he had just received the beauty of serving in front of the emperor, and An Guojun had not given him any benefits on weekdays.

Yang Liu said with emotion: "It's already a great grace for Gongzi to be able to save his life, but he doesn't dare to ask for anything else." ”

Gao Zhong bowed his head slightly and said, "What Manager Yang said is true." ”

The high-ranking people untied Gongzi Xiu, who was like a walking corpse, from the execution rack and prepared to send him back to the mansion.

When Gongzi Xiu passed by Wei Man's execution platform, Wei Man, who was wearing a cloak, shouted with all his might: "Childe, you must live, live well, as long as you live, there is hope......"

Gongzi Xiu's footsteps stopped when he heard this, turned his head and glanced at Wei Man silently, and the flame seemed to be rekindled in his eyes......

Gongzi Xiu dragged his tired body and was helped into the carriage by the servants of the palace, as the carriage gradually left the court, there was a melodious horn sound behind him, he knew in his heart that there would never be a will in the palace to save the people around him, his uncle, his father-in-law, and Wei Man, who had been following him loyally, these people fell with the sound of the horn, and at this moment they were already in a different place with blood on the execution ground, if it weren't for Wei Man's last call, he would have lost the courage to live alone.

Gongzi Xiu suddenly covered his face in the car and cried, at this moment, although he survived, he also lost everything he once had......

Gongzi Xiu took his wife Yang and two sons to the execution ground, Yang has been silent since the way back, he knows that his wife is watching his father and uncle being beheaded all over the house, painful, Gongzi Xiu wants to comfort her, but he can't speak, the reason for all this is just because he wants to compete for the throne, and now he has to go back to the house to rest.

Today, I have to lose the Yang family to marry me, otherwise as a Yang woman, I would have to be exiled to the border and never know my life and death.

Gongzi Xiu lay motionless on the couch decadently, and at this moment, a voice came from outside the house: "Lord, something is wrong, something happened to Madame." ”

Gongzi Xiu was shocked when he heard this, when he ran to Yang's house, he saw her lying calmly on the couch, her face was blue, motionless, Gongzi Xiu was shocked and rushed forward and kept calling her name, at this moment she had committed suicide by taking poison, Xiang Xiaoyu died, and she could never come back.

Gongzi Xiu saw that she was holding a silk cloth in her hand, which seemed to be written on it, he hurriedly opened it to see, only to see the book on it: "Today, my father and brother are dead, and I have no face to live alone in the world, husband, Jun'er and Zhu'er will please you." ”

Gongzi Xiu was extremely sad, remembering the happy appearance of the Yang family when he married him, Gongzi Xiu's five internal organs were burned violently, lying on Yang's corpse and crying......

Compared with the sorrow in Gongzi's mansion, at this time, in the mansion of the twelfth prince, Gongzizhuo heard that the ninth brother Gongzi Xiu was deprived of all titles by the emperor and ordered a confinement, he pondered for a long time, and said to himself: "Maybe I have a chance to ...... too"

After that, Gongzi Zhuo changed the image of the gentleman in the past, went to the study to read the classics, and seemed to have something in his heart, and then worked hard to write, the bamboo slips on the beautiful words jumped up, the article was written, in one go, Gongzi Zhuo looked at it and nodded with satisfaction, and called the guests in the house to watch.

After reading it, the doorman also praised the good article again and again.

The doorman said: "Childe is so studious today, but why?" ”

Hearing this, Gongzi said: "This splendid article is dedicated to my father, do you understand what I mean?" ”

The doorman suddenly said: "Childe, you also want to try to see if you can enter the eyes of His Majesty?" ”

Gongzi said with a smile: "Yes, now that the ninth brother is completely finished, who do you think the father will belong to as the heir next?" ”

The doorman's eyes flashed and said, "Childe, do you want to hear the truth?" ”

Gongzi bowed his head and said: "You don't have to hide it when you talk about the relationship between you and me. ”

The doorman said: "Freezing three feet, not a day's cold." ”

When Gongzi heard this, he sighed and said: "You are right, I used to be too profligate, until my mother was beaten into the cold palace, and I was deposed as a concubine and betrayed my relatives, I came to my senses, regret it is too late, and the future is long, I still want to try to see if I can save some images in my father's heart." ”

The doorman smiled: "Childe, listen to me, you have found the wrong person, it is not the most important thing to save your image in Your Majesty's heart, at the moment, Childe, the most important thing you should do is to save your image in the eyes of the important ministers of the court and regain your reputation, as long as the important ministers around Your Majesty can say good things for your son, Childe, the possibility of you ascending to the throne is much greater." ”

Gongzizhuo got up and bowed to the doorman and said, "Thank you, Mr. for your advice, I know how to do it." ”

In the early morning of the next day, Gongzi dressed solemnly, rode his horse to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he respectfully handed over the post, submitted the article he had written yesterday, and waited respectfully in place.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Huo Zheng and Gao Zhong were discussing state affairs.

Gao Zhong handed over the resignation of the right prime minister Wang Yi.

Gao Zhong said: "Enxiang, this old slippery head wants to get out completely, do you think this is more appropriate?" ”

Huo Zheng snorted coldly and said, "He wants to leave now?" If you want to be beautiful, you will not send it in the middle of the concert, and after Gongzi Sheng officially ascends the throne, it will not be too late for him to leave. ”

At this time, the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion came to report: "Qi Xiangguo, Gongzi is visiting." ”

The guard solemnly placed Gongzizhuo's article on Huo Zheng's desk and said, "This is Gongzizhuo's dedication to Lord Xiangguo." ”

Seeing this, Gao Zhong smiled and said, "Enxiang, it seems that some people are already ready to move." ”

Huo Zheng took the delicate cloth bag that the guards arrived, opened it and saw that in the middle was the article written by Gongzizhuo yesterday, although he despised Gongzizhuo in his heart for this kind of mud that couldn't support the wall, but he still had to take a look at the article.

After opening the bamboo slip, Prime Minister Huo Cheng looked at the beautiful calligraphy on the bamboo slip, and he couldn't help but admire: "Good words, it's really heartfelt." ”

Huo Zheng was born as a traveler in the Warring States Period, so he naturally attaches great importance to calligraphy, whether the article is good or not is secondary, and the exquisite calligraphy will also make readers involuntarily want to take a look at the article Jingyi, after all, he himself relied on a beautiful article to win the appreciation of the first emperor and rise rapidly.

Huo Zheng read it silently for a while, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but admire: "Good article, it is indeed a splendid good article, the old man has not seen such a good article for a long time, it can be called brilliant." ”

Gao Zhong heard Lord Xiangguo's praise again and again, and he couldn't help but be very curious in his heart, Lord Xiangguo's vision is extraordinary, and ordinary articles can not be looked down upon.

Huo Zheng read the article in one go, and he also knew that Gao Zhong wanted to see through it, so he handed him the article to read.

Gao Zhong took the article and read it, and he couldn't help but praise and said: "It's really a good literary style, it's rare, and the subordinate little literary talent is not as good as the author of this article." ”

Huo Zheng couldn't help but take the bamboo slip and couldn't put it down, and wondered: "When can Gongzizhuo have such a wonderful hand?" I don't usually see it. ”

When Gao Zhong heard this, he laughed contemptuously and said: "As far as Gongzizhuo's usual virtue, if he can write such a splendid article, the pigs will learn to climb the tree, I'm afraid he has a master behind him!" ”

When Huo Zheng heard this, he laughed and said, "That's right, the old man doesn't believe that he can have such attainments." ”

Huo Zheng turned his head and summoned the guards and ordered: "You go and tell Gongzi Zhuo in the original words, the article is good, the old man accepted it, if you can recommend the author of this article, you will be happier if you meet friends with the article, and you tell him that if you want to covet the big position, you will die this heart, let him go home and take a good look in the mirror, see if he has the appearance of no one, you step down." ”

The guards bowed and took the order.

At this moment, outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gongzi was anxiously waiting for news, and at this moment, the door was wide open, and the guards trotted all the way to Gongzizhuo and told the Prime Minister's original words to Gongzizhuo word for word.

After hearing this, Gongzi trembled with anger, and wanted to scold the old man at the Prime Minister's Mansion at that time, but when he thought about Gongzi's fate, his heart was cold, and he had to bow down respectfully and respectfully make a big salute to this door that he would never be able to step into, and left gloomily.

At this time, he immediately understood in his heart that the emperor should have a suitable candidate for a long time, and he didn't have any chance to take the throne at all, even if he was asking for help, he was just humiliating.

On the way back, Gongzizhuo suddenly laughed, and even tears came out of his eyes, and he said to himself: "Even the dignified prime minister thinks I'm a waste, and he doesn't believe that I can write such an article?" Alas! Hahaha, hurry! Hurry! When the float is white, hahaha......"

Pedestrians on the road saw this neurotic who was laughing in the street, and they were so frightened that they immediately hid to the side......
